Week 4 Preview:Vikes(1-2) @ Titans(3-0)

The Vikes are going to try to go to Tennessee will try to avoid a 1-3 start and that would the third in four seasons. This will be a game that real football fans are going to enjoy to watch. It is a going to be a defensive battle for both sides are in the top 10 in total defense. If I could watch this game I would.

What the offense needs to do?

For the Vikes on offense, it will be Frerotte to try to open up the passing game early against the Titans, so that AD will not have 8 or 9 men in the box to fend off. I believe with the Viking receivers have the ability to get open. With Frerotte at the QB, we might have a QB that can get the ball to them, instead of throwing the ball 10 yards over their head.Chilly and Bevell did a good job balancing Taylor and Peterson last week against Carolina. The Vikes will need both backs fresh all game to take on the defense that Tennesse will be throwing at the Vikes with Haynesworth and company.

What the defense needs to do?

The Viking defense will have to slow down Johnson and White that the Titans have in the backfield. If they can stop these two speedsters it makes the team one-dimensional. Then everything will be on Kerry Collins shoulders a well-seasoned vet, that has taken the reigns while Vince Young is nursing an injury. Collins is going a good job managing the offense, the Vikes will aso have to bring the house like that did against Carolina.If the Vikes can stop the running game, I believe they will leave Tennessee with a .500 record.
